Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

hi
when I tried to configure a package for kde I got this error....I searched google but none seems to have the answer. where do I get this QT 3.3 or qt-mt and how do I install it?

Quote:

checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.3) (library qt-mt) not found. Please check your installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.
Make sure that you have compiled Qt with thread support!

I'm not sure what version redhat 9 would include, but you will more than likely already have some version of qt3 insatlled. in that case, install qt-devel-3.3.3.rpm (or similar name) from your distro cd's. if you need to get a newer version (you can run "rpm -qv qt" to see what versions of qt are installed) then just go somewhere like rpm.pbone.net for updates, or update via apt-get if you use it.

i have qt version 3.1.1-6 and no matter what rpm i try to install for qt (whether it be 3.2 or 3.3) , I always get "Failed dependecies" similair to the ones above. How do I solve this? I wanted to install QT so i can install KDE 3.2.

these failed dependecies are inacurate and even when I update them it still complains.

I have the same problem and I had it before. Now I don't know how to solve it but it is something like I found in the Install instruction file from LICQ plugins. The problem is that you had installed older version of QT before and in the /etc/ld.so.conf linux finds first the older Qt than that new installed. So you have to remove that old one and install the new one. or try to make that linux find as first that newly installed Qt. Don't know how but when I will find it will let you know.

to make it find the new one first (assuming you have two installed) you have to manipulate the library path manually. however, this is not the way to go ( not good). you need to upgrade your qt to AT LEAST 3.3 (3.2 will not work). try:

rpm -Uvh <rpm> to upgrade instead of install the qt rpm. While I'm not recommending the following, if you uninstall the old qt and want to install the new qt but it complains about dependencies and you absolutely KNOW that you have what it needs, you could pass the --nodeps flag to rpm (rpm --nodeps <rpm>) to disable dependency checking and also if rpm complains about conflicting files you could pass the --force flag. As I said above, I'm not recommending this (but then again I don't recommend rpm's either )
